Back in Connecticut and riding to OOF again with the Lunartics!
Of course, we had to go see the cows on Spruce Brook. By the end of this ride, I will have ridden 40 miles and climbed over 3000 feet, which equates to the climbing of my last 5 rides in Chicago totalling 184 miles.
Another huge difference between here (CT) and there (IL) is the courtesy of the Illinois drivers afford to cyclists. In the three weeks I was riding in Chicago this trip not once was I ever buzzed; a car passing inside of three feet from the cyclist. This morning, I wasn't but a mile from house and I got buzzed. In fact on this ride I got buzzed two more times.
And now time for some gratuitous cow porn
Leaving later for OOF means the selection of baked goods is meager and I had to settle for a Ham and Cheese Croissant. Nothing wrong with it but it's not my first choice. The coffee was excellent, though.
